Players are finally making moves that I did not anticipate. Its fun, but it eats time, therefore next game post was quite delayed. It was worth the wait though! New deaths, and epic moves.

I would also like to kindly ask the participators to cast up vote in game article’s way, even if of only little power. It’s your reward pool too after all and one vote won’t kill you :).

Since two races have already reached the finals, I think its time to set the amount of points that is needed to win the game. Therefore whoever reaches 400 points will win the game!

Engagement plan

I decide now is probably my best chance of success. With a stern look and a nod to Makhel we start chopping our way through the orc warband. Hopefully the elves will see what's happening and not fire upon us. If we are successful, I will hold high the head of an orc, and in the best human language I can muster, yell out "I am not one of these savages!"

Result

You expressed your intentions to Makhel with a nod. Shoulder to shoulder like one unit you started chopping into the backs of Orcs that were still waiting for their turn. The first chop was total surprise and the first two Orcs felt dead to the ground. You have chosen rather invasive strategy and the Orcs around soon realized what was happening. After other two kills the Orcs were on you. The Elves had to realize that for now you are helping them and have created a wooden barrier around you and Makhel. The opposing Orcs could have attacked you only directly in the groups of two. Every clash would be even like that. Makhel attacked his opponent (DICE ROLL). His left hand fell to the ground. (DICE ROLL) Even though the opposing Orc managed a counterattack it wasn’t effective at all. You at the same time (DICE ROLL) effortlessly killed your foe. The first round was over and seemingly infinite amount of them in front of you.

The next one immediately jumped at you. (DICE ROLL) Your next foe has hit you directly to the head. Not fatally, but you have lost you consciousness.

You woke up. It was your body, yet not you. Everything moved so slowly. There were beings around you, beings that deserved some killing. One after another, they fell. So pathetic. So underdeveloped. So not deserving of living. They had to die. All of them. It was your only wish after all for what felt like an eternity. And your dream was coming true. One place at a time. The body couldn’t take it anymore. You couldn’t afford to lose it. All the beings that were fighting you directly were dead. It was time to leave the body once again

You woke up tied up in the elven camp. You were still alive that was a good sign. You were basically unable to move and that was the bad sign.

Inventory double-headed axe of high quality on your back, spear on your back 2 daggers at your belt and one tiny dagger attached to your boot. Backpack, pouch of water(1), cloaking cloth, Pouch for coins (50), Food-arm(0)

Action plan

After hearing what the doctor had to say, I would be curious to find out about the new leader. If the new leader seems like an ally, I will talk with him about my journey and the need to join forces to vanquish our enemies. I will discuss about our supplies, weapons, strategies and whatever would help us in accomplishing our goal. If not I will continue onwards to my friend's place, trying not to be discovered and to not get unwanted attention. If I reach the destination, I would take rest and stock up on weapons, supplies, food and water at my friend's place. I would try not to gain any unwanted attention in the camp.I would talk to my friend to gather more useful information. Irrespective of my destination, I would sleep, drink, eat for the remainder of the day.

Result

“I need to go visit my friends place.” “Who’s your friend?” “Nargus.” “I told you he’s dead. You don’t want to go visit the new leader now. Believe me. Just rest.” And so you rested. The doc even brought you something to eat and drink. The leg started to feel better because of the tending. It would still take over a week to have it at full strength, but lying there was really helpful for it. The night came and you fell asleep. Waking up the day after.

Points: 88

Inventory: Double-headed axe of high quality on your back, 2 daggers at your belt and one tiny dagger attached to your boot. Pouch of water (1)

Abilities: Remembered 3 easy and 1 hard formula of random spells 

Army: Around 250 Orcs

Action plan

We shall attack them in the deep of night when they are sleeping, until then I will prepare the troops for a night raid, there shall be no survivors. After killing all the orcs by a surprise attack we will scrap the dead for all the resources (bags, weapons, jugs of water, armour , arrows, magical books...) whatever item that may serve a purpose. Afterwards we will build wooden caravans to transport any excess food, tools and other items that we may need for our journey. From there we shall go towards the river nearby, make camp there and then we will scout the area for any other orcs troop. The disaster that happened to my previous camp won't happen again. „How do you know they will stay in the camp?“ Nargus asked. “Believe me it is the best time to attack. Ready the troops brother.”

Result

You were pretty confident that now is time to strike. The troops that invaded elven part of the forest would be wounded, tired, or both. With Nargus you started the gathering of the troops. You would attack right now. In a while everyone was ready and you started the march. The army has reached the camp pretty soon. (DICE ROLL) The troops really were in the camp, but not sleeping anymore. Yet they were still surprised by your attack you have sent all the warriors you had into the action. You have kept a safe distance with Nargus, giving just orders. (DICE ROLL) The surprise attack worked out pretty well. You have lost only around 50 warriors and obliterated the opposition. Afterwards you started building the caravan from the woods all around you. You took plenty of the bodies and told everyone to loot what they feel they would need. When you were ready you went north. The river was finally reachable. At the end of day you have finally reached it. Everyone replenished themselves. The camp was set up and then you felt that your job for today is done. You fell asleep.

Inventory: double-headed axe of high quality, 2 daggers at your belt and one tiny dagger attached to your boot. Pouch of water(0), pouch for coins (43), hand-food (0), lapful of bananas(1), 4kg of meat (2 days left)

Group: Makhel – Double-headed axe, dagger, Pouch of water(0), hand-food (0) 

Action plan

"Makhel, lower your weapon", I whisper in Orcish.

"Be at ease", I continue in Human, "we follow a path laid out for us by Xnurlos. He guided us here. He showed us the way to your tunnel in a vision. We do not seek to harm you. We only come to find the human I saw in my vision and find out why we were sent here."

I describe the human I saw in my vision in as much detail as I can remember.

I ask the sentries, "Do you know of this human? I fear some harm may have come to him. Xnurlos has since sent a vision of a bright light and a slaughter within it. None within the light survived that I could see. I do not know if the Human I seek was in the light."

Result

You both stood still and explained yourself. The humans seemed to discuss something in between them for quite a while.

“We can’t let you go. You have 2 options. Either you fight us now, or you will yield consent to be temporarily blinded for the duration of our journey to meet our leaders. You would speak directly to them. The choice is yours.”

Action plan plan

I step up in front of the guards and demand they get my friend to talk to me._ _If they don't agree, I'll shout his name as loud as I can. ( In case this doesn't work, I have my axe prepared. )

Result

You woke up into a heavy rain. Your estimation was that you should be able to reach the spot in your dream today. The rain was a real blessing for you. It was so strong that you could have used it to finally clean your wound. Also some of the bigger leaves had plenty of water in on them to satisfy your needs and to fill your canteen. This is a third day without food though. All you stats are halved and if you don’t managed to find food 2morrow, you will die. Later today you have finally arrived to the place of your dream. Just when you arrived to the place, slowly but surely a group of Humans have been emerging from a solid stone right in front of you.

You didn’t really think about how to approach this situation. You chose to go with the most straightforward way. You confronted them directly.

“I need to speak with Nargus. Let me in.”

(DICE ROLL) The guards scanned you. “Are you really so stupid Krognak? Showing up just like that?

“NAAARGUUUS COME OUT!“

(DICE ROLL) Even though you were prepared to use your axe you didn’t manage to draw it fast enough. The first guard on the other hand was and cut your left hand hard. The other guard followed up with his swing (DICE ROLL), but you were ready for that. Finally you were ready to attack them in return, choosing the first guard. Hitting only ground.

Nargus finally made it out from his hut. Also the message of an attack has started to spread. Soon reinforcements will arrive.

After your failed attack you have exposed yourself (DICE ROLL) The first guard managed to hit you again on the same spot, cutting your arm to the bone. (DICE ROLL) That attack temporarly crippled you, (DICE ROLL) which was more than enough for the other guard to deliver a killing blow. The last thing you saw was Nargus, giving you the “what did you want me to do” look. DEAD

Inventory: Old rusty sword, bow of the highest quality, food for 1 day (will last for 2 days), water for 2days in a sack, little backpack for food, quiver with 20 arrows attached to your right leg, map 

Stats: Endurance +1

Action plan

I ask to stay at the battle to scout out the carnage. If I am allowed to I ask one of the elves to stay with me, then I check is the strange magic still effects me as I start touching the fallen worriers.

Result

When you woke up you got to know that you have another free day. The last message was that 2 Elven camps have been lost yesterday. The numbers of your race dwindled again and with it the seemingly inevitable ultimate defeat. You wanted to go back to the battlefield and check out whether the strange energy still affects you. Going alone would be dangerous, knowing what the effects usually were. No better person for that came to your mind but your best friend Antasil. He of course agreed to go with you to help you out with your experiment. Off you went. After a while you have reached the place. The whole place stank of rotting corpses already. The goal of your experiment was important though and you pushed through the discomfort. You chose a dead Orcish body at random. When you were mentally ready you touched it. Nothing has happened. You tried it with many other bodies. After a while of touching random dead bodies you decided to stop. No weird energy has appeared. You didn’t know what to think and was unable to make sense out of it all. You then decided to go back the camp and rest. Tomorrow was your shift day again

Action plan

I ask Esdalir whether we should check for other orcs. If he says yes, I will follow his orders. If there are no other orcs, I ask him if we should use a stick to loot them, but I tell him that only 1 person should do it ad the magic may cause us to lose conscious.

Result

When you woke up you got to know that you have another free day. The last message was that 2 Elven camps have been lost yesterday. The numbers of your race dwindled again and with it the seemingly inevitable ultimate defeat. You wanted to go back to the battlefield and check out whether the strange energy still affects you. Going alone would be dangerous, knowing what the effects usually were. No better person for that came to your mind but your best friend Antasil. You told your plan to Esdalir and he agreed. He only told you that you do not need to fear the energy now among the dead soldiers. Nothing more, nothing less. Off you went. After a while you have reached the place. The whole place stank of rotting corpses already. The goal of your experiment was important though and you pushed through the discomfort. You chose a dead Orcish body at random. When you were mentally ready you touched it. Nothing has happened. You tried it with many other bodies. After a while of touching random dead bodies you decided to stop. No weird energy has appeared – Esdalir was right. You didn’t know what to think and was unable to make sense out of it all. While trying the bodies, whether strange energy will appear you collected 8 usable swords by Elves. You immediately replaced the better looking one for your own – so did Antasil. You then decided to go back the camp and rest. Tomorrow was your shift day again.

Map: Mapped one day North from the exit, Orcish camp to the north of the exit and its surroundings.

Action plan

We are going to take the orcs advice and catalog the woods around us. I am sure they are quite unusual to us compared to our underground locale. We will make arrangements with the orc to meet at this camp spot at the time he expects to be getting back. And in the mean time? Check the place out around it without getting more than a distance from it we could get back in time from for the rendezvous with orc. I am concerned with my party candidly and out of hearing from the orc that he may come back with "friends" and that we should definitely be hidden and watching for his arrival so that we can either defend ourselves from cover such as up in the trees above or in "the bushes" hidden, when he comes back, or just walk out if he's still alone and be all like oh, yeah hi! Just getting back from looking around a bit, giving us the upper hand to ambush or greet depending on what he comes back with or alone. Allowing me to assess and decide that action once I can see the choice needed.

Result

You agreed with the Orc that when his business with his friend will be over, you will meet each other at this spot. With that the Orc departed and you started doing your job. You moved as a unit, while writing all the info you came across down. (DICE ROLL) You managed to sneak around the camp and gathered a more, or less, detailed image of it. Also you were able to capture the scenery around the Orcish camp. When the sun was going down you finished the water and portion of the meat, set up a camp, and awaited the Orc. But he did not return…

Sounds like we don't have much of a choice but to rest up and recover.

Result

(DICE ROLL) With no medication you had nothing to take care of the cold really. You just used the sunshine to dry all your clothes and lay there on the sun. Unfortunately everyone, but Terene already had fever during the next day. Your group had spent the whole day in a delirium state, only being able to eat and drink. (DICE ROLL) Fortunately no one has found you, thus the chance of survival still lived, however dim it was.

Engagement plan

When we see the orcs, I shout in the orc language, "Wait! We do not look for problems, if you give us the opportunity, we will retire from here and we will return where we came" and at the same time that we are organizing ourselves in our Formation.

In case it does not work and that the orcs of the same way attack us, I will give the order to attack first the leader of the orcs, we will use magic to raise slightly the earth to the front of the feet of the orcs, so that they stumble and potentialment Fall to the floor.

Those who have bows will attack first and those in the front will remain 5 feet away from the archers, preventing any enemy from overtaking and going straight to those behind.

While we are fighting, I will say to my companions, "Remember well, we must all come back alive, so do not even let them defeat us.In our houses they are waiting for us, our families, and they will be waiting for us to bring them good news."

The moment the Orc Lider dies, I will try to talk to them again to finish the fight peacefully and we retire (with my 20 in charisma, and with the leader of them dead, they will see that it is the best option for them)

If they still decide to continue fighting, we will continue until only one of them is alive and we capture him as a hostage.

In the event that everything fails and we seem to have no chance, we will create a fire as big as our capacity (without getting tired altogether) between them and us and we will escape at full speed.

Result

You quickly formed the formation you set in the beginning of the journey. You tried to shout at the Orcs one last time. The only responses were battle roars. You then gave orders to the party There was no obvious party leader among them, so you decided to kill whoever you would have a chance to first. First salve of arrows was released (DICE ROLL) First arrow hit the first Orc to directly to head killing him immediately, second missed, and third arrow got stuck in second Orc left hand. Meanwhile the members of the first raw concentrated on the earthen spell you had in mind. (DICE ROLL) Only 2 Orcs were not affected by the spell and continued charging at you. Second salve was ready to fire onto those that still persisted. One of the Orcs still running was the one previously hit by one of the arrows. 2 Arrows were shot at the uninjured one and one to the injured Orc. (DICE ROLL) All of them missed this time though. The Orcs were at you (DICE ROLL) The charging foes were able to strike first. The injured Orc was met only by Forhan. Because of his injury he was unable to launch a proper attack and completely withed it. At the same time the other Ork was met by Aegald and Taelder. He was double the size than all of you. (DICE ROLL) Aegald was smashed by his axe, which struck his left leg and flew away rotating. Taelder tried to avenge his friend (DICE ROLL) but failed in his attempt. Forhan used his chance and cut the Orcs right hand to its bone disabling it too.

The Orcs were recovering from your earthen spell. “Stop the fighting! Let’s all go our way!” You didn’t receive any response though. Also another salve was ready and fly. The Orcs that presumably killed one of your members had to die first. (DICE ROLL) The very first arrow penetrated his right leg. Second arrow got tuck in his left leg. The last arrow flew at one of the recovering Orcs, but totally missed. The Orc with crippled arms (DICE ROLL) was unable to fight through the pain and (DICE ROLL) Taelder finished him off with his next attack. At the same time Forhan tried to finish the lying Orc (DICE ROLL) easily decapitating him

The Orcs have recovered and were almost at you. Reen(DICE ROLL) fired his bow and penetrated the first Orcs right arm. He managed to do so just in time, because Forhan was attacked by the same Orcs right after that (DICE ROLL) only managing to scratch his armour. Forhan attacked back (DICE ROLL). Terene fired next (DICE ROLL) but missed. Another Orc charged your formation and was met by Taelder (DICE ROLL) and again his attack has been stopped by his armour. The charging attack was supported by the last Orc (DICE ROLL) Taelder was cut in half. You fired at the Orc with the most successful attack (DICE ROLL), but you only scratched his right leg.

The only way how to execute your escape plan now would be to incinerate the last standing man in the front raw – Forhan. That was totally not acceptable for you, therefore you decided to fight on. Reen fired at the Orc that killed Taelder but only managed to scratch him. (DICE ROLL) First Orcs attack missed Forhan, who tried to counterattack him (DICE ROLL) with the same result. Terene tried to put down the presumably strongest Orc (DICE ROLL) and managed to finally penetrate his right hand. (DICE ROLL) Forhan managed to block attack from second Orc with his shield and was immediately pressured by the strongest Orc (DICE ROLL) and soon felt his cold steel in his guts

Running away from beasts double your sizes wasn’t thinkable at this moment. Fight till death it was. (DICE ROLL) You fired at the strongest Orc (DICE ROLL) penetrating his right arm with yet another arrow making it useless. Reen (DICE ROLL) followe you up, but managed to only scratch his head. You didn’t haveany meele weapons to switch to, and the Orcs were already on you The First one (DICE ROLL) drove his axe deep into your body and the second finally finished you off. DEAD
